Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works.
Today’s card I made at our monthly Team Stamping Studio. Each month we have a ‘meeting’ and after we get the business portion done, we do a little mystery stamping. Jaimie gives us measurements of cardstock and DSP and walks us through putting the card together. All of our cards are different with a similar design. Here’s what I came up with.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Bundle, Beautiful Shapes Dies and Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of Subtle DSP to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 different size hexagons from the Beautiful Shapes Dies, the larger one in Basic White and the smaller one from a panel of Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. I embossed the larger Basic White hexagon using my Basics 3D Embossing Folder (available March 1). I adhered the embossed hexagon to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the DSP hexagon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image using my Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image our using my Ranunculus Dies. I adhered the die cut rose to the embossed hexagon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I stamped the bee image from the Queen Bee stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I added a little color to the bee using my So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the sentiment out using the Ranunculus Dies and I cut the bee out using my Queen Bee Dies. I adhered the sentiment and bee to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image using my Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it using my Mint Macaron and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
